"Deeply colored, the 2017 Vacqueyras Cuvée Des Templiers (50/50 Grenache and Syrah) is a full-bodied, powerful 2017 that has lots of Syrah character in its ripe dark fruits, olive tapenade, game, and peppery aromas and flavors. With a big, mouthfilling style, it’s going to evolve nicely for upwards of a decade."
